Australia is very hot and dry, due to drought and global warming. Insects are found less commonly now and have become a small site in Australia, small rodents and kangaroos are found frequently because of their short furred design and their great conservation of water. Wild camels are the most common of animals because they can store the water needed to survive until they next find water.
The coast as dry as Alice spring is now and the blue and snowy mountains are no longer snowy but are now dry and dusty. The Australian magpie is predominantly found on the dry mountains along the east coast and hunt in the valley. There is a huge lack of water and has been the most effective factor in the extinction of half of all Australia’s insects.
Grass is only found on some coasts but is very dry and almost completely unlivable. Humans left Australia as a last resort after they lost all there water supplies and had no way to gain agricultural income. The lack of humans has also thrust the amount of small rodents by tens of thousands because of the spare shelter and no hunting or exterminators to lower their numbers. The rodents especially grew due to there quick multiplying.
Structural Adaptations
- The Australian magpie’s wingspan and wing strength has increased to an average of 1-1.5 meters. The increase in wing span provides the Magpie to be able to fly and seek small rodents to eat due to the lack of insects. The magpie’s is commonly found on mountains because of the cool atmosphere and use its increased wings to fly to the valleys during the day because rodents seek refuge in the cracks and crevasses.
- The Magpie's Vulture like feet developed into larger more muscular feet, and the 3mm pads have lessened to make their feet more accurate and less clumsy. Those along with the length of the leg being increased have successfully made the Australian a very successful Ariel hunter, by flying over the valleys and when it see’s a rodent it will swoop down and clutch it in its strong muscular talons and caries it up to a place it can eat it.
Behavioral Adaptations
- The lack of insects and the overgrowth of rodents have made the Australian magpie become a predominantly rodent eating bird compared to insects, which are now rare. The bird has changed its way of hunting from walking and picking the insects up with its mouth and instantly eating it, to catching the common rodent in its talons and taking it to a safe place to eat.
- The Australian magpie as changed residence from low grassy areas and living in nests in trees but now to small crevasses created by the snow that covered the mountains, but now has melted, on top of the cool mountains on the east coast.
Physiological Adaptations
- The change in diet has forced the Australian Magpies digestive system to cope. The stomach of the bird has enlarged to hold more food to animals such as Possum's, and Brown Rat and then slowly releases it at a speed I can handle through the rest of the digestive system. The digestive system has also had to develop to be able to digest the blood and meat because it was unused to these factors. The large increase in intake in each meal it has lowered its meals to two a week.
